10 Ikea foods you should grab on your next furniture haul

We’ve all seen it at our local Ikea store: the tiny Swedish market at the end of the endless labyrinth of furniture and impulsive purchases. This food market is loaded with delicious and often healthy artisan goods and, in true Ikea fashion, they are more than affordable.

If you’re on a mission to be healthy but can’t resist a biscuit, this is one crumbly treat you won’t have to reject. Sans sugar and “just sweet enough,” these Swedish oat biscuits are a great addition to any store cupboard.

Food porn from Ikea — who would have thought?

This tastes like a gourmet truffle from the food heavens. Serve these as dessert at a dinner party and we promise not one of your guests will guess they are from Ikea (but you may have to tell them after they beg for the recipe).

Two words: Butterscotch pieces. Heavenly, rich and best served by the spoonful, this Swedish chocolate invention makes it socially acceptable to cheat on Nutella.

8. Öl Ljus Lager (Light lager beer) – £1.50

A classic, light and satisfying beer. The just-bitter-enough taste accompanied by fragrant and fresh hoppy smells make this the perfect reward for surviving Ikea.

Sweden is famous for its insanely lush cinnamon buns so, of course, Ikea kindly provides the masses with an oven-ready version. The smell of these baking will fill your home with the delicious aroma of comfort food. The first bite of these sweet and fluffy buns will transport your taste buds to the heart of Sweden’s culinary culture.

10. Grönsaksbullar (Vegetable balls) – £3.85

This is the vegetarian answer to Swedish meatballs and I can’t get enough. Loaded with protein, chopped veggies and ready in less than 10 minutes, this is the perfect post-workout snack or a delicious addition to any salad.
